So why were you using MF?

Why bother tagging your photos if you don't like the way they came out? Also, trying moving your signature around...to less distracting areas. You migh even want to consider making it smaller and reducing the opacity.

I ran the pics through the automater and they were resized and stamped. You can tell on the vertical pics how off the tags are I just needed to get them up because people kept asking where they are. I have yet to start post processing anything.

^I haven't been wearing my glasses in a while and I forgot that I changed the viewfinder to compensate to view. I guess my vision is a lot further off than I thought

Ah, I see. When I saw the cutoff tags I was like WTF? lol

But yeh, I'd stay away from those. They're distracting in a lot of your pictures. They could use a little strategic placing, IMO. Try manually placing them in an empty corner somewhere. I know it's a pain, but if you're going to tag the pics...try to make it less distracting.

Gotcha. Will implement more strategery with my tags

I might have to start using autofocus until I get off my happy *** and get my new glasses. One Pair- I ran over them after I left them on the trunk while working on the car. Another Pair- Stolen, that's what I get for having Oakley Frames

It took me awhile before I got my resize/watermark batch action to properly place the stamp where I want it to.

I have two in place, one for vertical, one for horitzontal. I just wanted the pics resized and ran it through all of the pics. I started looking at the close up pics and realized how far off my focus was. OP updated with script of what I was trying to focus on
